Public Swimming Pool with water play

SengKang Swimming Complex


Swimming Complex is priced at normal public swimming pool admissions and like most normal swimming complex has its regular Olympic swimming lap pools (2 of them).   On top of that, it has many additions  that normal swimming complex do not have such as the winding tube slides, the rollercoaster slides and water playground for toddlers and preschoolers (even adults love the water massages provided here).
The main attraction is unarguably the colorful slides. There are a total of 8 slides.
